If it was made available to you for 1000x its local price would you then stop pirating it?
If not, then is the lack of "any" price the problem? Or do you have higher expectations than you've stated here?
- izacus 10y agoHow about being made available under the same price people in other countries pay and not being treated like a second class human?
- ucaetano 10y agoDifferent countries have different costs, taxes, wealth and willingness to pay.

- wfunction 10y ago> How about being made available under the same price people in other countries pay and not being treated like a second class human? To be clear, are you saying there is some kind of fundamental human principle that if some product or service is made available to N members of the public, it MUST be made available to ALL people worldwide at the same price (with perhaps adjustment for local differences in tax, etc.)? Do you not feel the vendor also has every right and privilege to NOT bother doing such a thing for your convenience? And does it really seem 100% fair to the vendor that you're forcing them to choose between either (1) letting you steal their product, or (2) going through the trouble of making it available to you? Do people not have a right to produce things for less than 100% of the world population without allowing them to get stolen by the rest?
